Betts is heaps more ripped and fitter since moving there.
again, speaks volumes for how we do things here.
Or how he did things while here, under Cordy?
what team do you watch on the weekends jimmy?
we don't have anyone here ripped. menzel actually looks skinnier.
cripps is getting ripped, but he does that all on his own, outside of carlton, along with his sprint training. he's a footballer, though.
This post shows how little you understand about current trends. Senior AFL players have probably dropped 3-5 kilos on average over the last 18 months.
Less body weight = better running capacity
I'm talking about ripped as in muscle definition. Like Betts at adelaide is more ripped than his carlton version, which is no stretch to put down to his already admitted "harder training regime."
ripped isn't necessarily a correlation to weight gain. that would be buff.
not that i'm convinced without you providing data, or a news story which suggests players are getting lighter. even if you did, it's all relative – key position players and even some rucks, want extra weight because it equals strength which equals not getting pushed around in contests.
And also jimmy, old boy. what can you tell me about guys like biclavs or isaac smith who are big units who can like prairie dogs.

it seems like a pretty big generalisation, and if there's one thing we don't do here in the hallowed hallways of Talking Carlton; it's generalise.
